Mahjobeh Badakhsh

Mahjobeh Badakhsh, Director of Operations at Vancouver Food Runners, shares a deeply personal reflection on community, food, and history in Burnaby. Through a visit to the Burnaby Village Museum, she explores how food has long connected people across cultures and generations, and how those connections continue to shape our communities today. Woven through this reflection is her own experience as a first-generation immigrant, and how community food programs helped create a sense of stability and belonging for her family.
